Pelosi visits Obama at the White House

12/7/12 3:17 PM EST

House minority leader Nancy Pelosi met Friday with President Obama, a White House official confirmed.

Their meeting comes as talks between congressional leaders and administration officials have reached an impasse over the issue of revenues and spending.

Congressional Republicans are standing firm on their refusal to raise tax rates, while the White House is insisting that rates must go up on only the wealthy as part of any deal over debts and deficits.
